Price considerations aside, what are your opinions on these two monitors? which might you lean towards choosing?

Primary usage will be for gaming (FPS) but also more general desktop work (adobe program work).
Intended GPU will be GTX 1070.

The height is likely similar, however you really need to decide on whether you want ULTRAWIDE because there are significant pros and cons.

PRO - wider gaming
PRO - screen real estate for more programs

CON - games may not be supported (or suitable) so you end up with black bars on the left and right if setup properly and not stretched.
CON - you may not want a curved monitor. I tried one and it was fine once I got used to it though it can be awkward for other people not in the "sweet spot" (someone next to you)

Hz/FPS - with the 165Hz monitor you will have less tendency to hit the FPS ceiling. In fact, on the 165FPS ceiling switching to VSYNC ON is likely not noticeable, but going from 95FPS in asynchronous mode to 100FPS VSYNC ON would be noticeable as it would be slightly more sluggish.

(may be a way to cap to around 90FPS).

165Hz is also smoother for the desktop. PCPER tested that and said it got smoother than suddenly once they got up to 165Hz it seemed more "real" or whatever word they used.

Productivity wise the ultrawide can show more on the screen obviously as said.
